Sameness · vs 4 named
How is this calculated?

Your page is mostly your own.

Most of what you say, Broadsign and the rest of your set do not. You're less same than 344 of the 366 SaaS sites scored (SaaS avg 56).

No category benchmark matched this set.
Sameness Index on a 0 to 100 scale, from distinctive at 0 to interchangeable at 100. This page scores 37. Ticket-IT scores 41. Vusion scores 31. SOLUM scores 42. Broadsign scores 42. The SaaS avg is 56.

Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 4 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

  1. Less same than average

    The average SaaS site scores 56; you scored 37.

    You are 19 points less same than the average SaaS site.

  2. Closest overlap: Broadsign

    Of the 4 sites you named, Broadsign echoes the most of what your page says. Scored the same way against the rest of the set, Broadsign sits at 42.

    Broadsign is the competitor you sound most like.

  3. Room to own more

    13% of your claim space is ownable: unique, relevant, and hard to copy.

    13% is ownable, and every claim you own already leads.

Do this first

Three changes worth testing first.

Chosen by rule from the comparison with Ticket-IT, Vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign: the shared claim taking your most prominent space, then the claims only you make that sit too low on the page to be read. Each one links to its claim card.

  1. Automates personalized pricing and promotions across online and in-store channels

    Ticket-IT, Vusion and Broadsign say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

    Table stakes
    Most of the set says this too.
  2. Australia's Biggest Retailers Run On Last Yard

    Keep the fact, lose the position: vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign say it too (75% of the set), and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

    Most of the set says this too.

Try these changes, then test them with real buyers.

This measures overlap. Whether buyers notice is a different question, and only they can answer it.

Why this is not 100 minus the Sameness Index

The index is a weighted composite across six categories, including page structure and visuals. This bar is measured on your claims alone, weighted by where each one sits on the page. Different denominators, so the two never add to 100 and are not meant to.

Where you blend in

Territory you spend prominent space on that the set also occupies. Not every line is one to delete — the question is whether it has earned the space, or whether something only you can say should be there instead.

Sayability
Whether a competitor could truthfully make the same claim: anyone could, copyable with effort, or hard to copy.
Relevant
Whether buyers decide on this. A unique claim nobody buys on is not ownable.
Ownership

How this was calculated

Sameness measures how much your claims overlap with the sites compared. It does not measure message quality or whether buyers prefer you.

AI-analyzed: an AI read each page on its own and grouped the claims that say the same thing. No score here was written by a model — every number is computed from those groupings in our own code, with the weights below.

How the score is built
The six category scores, their weights, and what a high score in each one means
CategoryWeightYoursWhat a high score means
Messaging
Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised
30%42The most expensive kind of sameness. A buyer cannot tell what job you do that the others do not.
Claims
Attribute and benefit claims — speed, ease, quality, ROI
30%43Every shared claim is a line already read on another tab. Cut the ones nobody owns and spend the space on something they cannot.
Features
Capabilities and functions the page lists
15%58Expected in a mature category, and the least alarming of the six. Feature parity is normal; leading with it is the mistake.
Proof
The kinds of evidence offered: customer logos, numbers, testimonials, case studies, badges
10%17Same kinds of proof as everyone means the proof stops working as proof. It is scored on the kind of evidence, not on which customers are named.
Structure
Section order, navigation, CTA language and placement
10%0The generic SaaS template — hero, logos, three-feature grid, testimonial, CTA. Familiar is not the same as memorable.
Visual
Palette family, imagery style, layout patterns
5%23Weighted lowest on purpose: buyers rarely decide on this. Worth knowing, rarely worth fixing first.

Each site was read on its own first, with no knowledge of the others, so your page gets no benefit of the doubt a competitor’s does not. A category nothing could be measured for drops out and the rest are re-weighted, rather than counted as zero.

What it cannot tell you

The index can find where two pages converge. It cannot say whether a buyer would notice, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. A single check also moves several points between runs, so read the band and the ranking, not the last digit.

Your highest-impact changes

  1. 1
    Table stakesYour hero copy says “Automates personalized pricing and promotions across online and in-store channels”.

    Ticket-IT, Vusion and Broadsign say it too (75% of the set). Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.

  2. 2
    Table stakesYour section copy says “Australia's Biggest Retailers Run On Last Yard”.

    Keep the fact, lose the position: vusion, SOLUM and Broadsign say it too (75% of the set), and your section is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

The only way to know if it matters.

This report can tell you where your messaging overlaps. It cannot tell you whether a buyer would care, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. Put the page in front of real B2B buyers in your target market and ask them.
